Does not all religion teach you to be good?

There are many levels to look at should one want to reflect on religions.

But on a very very basic level, I respect all religions, simply because I believe that fundamentally, all religions teach us to be good.

No doubt there are differences in philosophies and all, but as a human being, I understand that religions are basically kind, and that it provides lost beings with an anchor. From a Buddhism angle, it might not be the right anchor, but at the very least, it is better than nothing, and that it doesnt exactly harm us.

If they are so lost that a worldly religion can bring them comfort, I would say go ahead. From a shortsighted perspective, at least in this life time, they have some direction and guidance.
